Why Flagstaff News?

Imagine waking up to a single email that captures everything happening in Flagstaff – from the latest community events to environmental alerts – without the hassle of sifting through scattered sources. Flagstaff's news landscape is dominated by trusted outlets like the Arizona Daily Sun, a daily newspaper delivering hyper-local stories on Coconino County initiatives, education, and cultural festivals, and ABC15 Arizona, the ABC affiliate providing timely coverage of public safety, crime, and uplifting community features through its dedicated Flagstaff section. These platforms blend print, digital newsletters, videos, and social media to keep residents connected, but the real challenge is staying on top of it all amid busy lives and information overload. Residents in Flagstaff rely on these outlets for everything from evergreen events like the annual Soulstice Race to urgent health updates, such as the first plague death in Coconino County since 2007.
